Anyone use them? If so, what is a good one under $20?

The griffin ones work well, dont get battery powered because 10 mins into the use of it the battery power is too weak to create the ideal FM broadcast. I hate FM transmitters but unless i spend $200 on a deck/installation I pretty much have to deal with it.

Yeah i would much rather have a new radio installed but i really would rather not spend the money to do it. Life would be so much easier if i had there was a cassette player too. #firstworldproblems.

From my experiences, Griffon is the way to go. But you really don't want to cheap out and get a $10 or $20 one cuz they'll sound way worse than your normal radio stations. Mine was I think $45 and sounds even better than the stations I get. The quality almost entirely depends on your head unit though. If you have a shitty HU that can't pick up FM signals for shit, you could buy a $200 FM transmitter and it'll sound no better than the $10 one a Rite Aid.

Ended up buying this one for $14 and free shipping so i guess who cares if it doesn't work since it was only 14$.
